OSCE Network Study on “Threat Perceptions in the OSCE Area” Published in Vienna, 29 April 2014

The OSCE Network of Think Tanks and Academic Institutions has published a study on “Threat Perceptions in the OSCE Area.” This study provides an analysis and comparison of a broad spectrum of threat perceptions held by governments. This may provide background information for the OSCE’s Helsinki +40 process. The study is based on 18 country reports from institutes and think tanks of participating States distributed across the OSCE area. It was presented on 29 April 2014, at the invitation of the Swiss OSCE Chairmanship, during a Helsinki +40 meeting in the Vienna Hofburg.

This study would not have been possible without the generous support of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, the German Federal Foreign Office, and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland. The authors and the participating institutes express their sincere gratitude for the financial and intellectual support received.
